Chapter 7: Q. 6 (page 454)

Bearings A production run of ball bearings is supposed to have a mean diameter of 2.5000centimeters (cm). An inspector chooses 100bearings at random from the run. These bearings have mean diameter 2.5009cm.

identify the population, the parameter, the sample, and the statistic.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The sample is of 100bearings and population mean diameter becomes the associated parameter. The parameter is population mean diameter 渭and statistic is sample mean diameter x=2.5009cm.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We need to identify the population, the parameter, the sample, and the statistic.

02

Simplify

Individuals that seek to collect information are present in the population.
A sample is a portion of the population from whom data was gathered.
It is noted that the sample consists of 100bearings randomly chosen from the run, whereas the population must consist of all bearings in the run.
A statistic is a descriptive measure for a sample, whereas a parameter is a descriptive measure for a population.
The mean diameter of 2.5009cmis calculated based on 100bearings in the sample, hence 2.5009cmreflects the sample mean diameter, which means 2.5009cmis a statistic.
The population mean diameter becomes the associated parameter.

Statistic :

x炉=sample mean diameter =2.5009cm
Parameter : 渭=population mean diameter

refer to the following graph. Here is a dotplot of the adult literacy rates in 177 countries in a recent year, according to the United Nations. For example, the lowest literacy rate was 23.6 %, in the African country of Burkina Faso. Mali had the next lowest literacy rate at 24.0 %.

The overall shape of this distribution is

a. clearly skewed to the right.

b. clearly skewed to the left.

c. roughly symmetric.

d. uniform.

e. There is no clear shape.

More homework Some skeptical Ap庐 Statistics students want to investigate the newspaper's claim in Exercise 11, so they choose an SRS of 100students from the school to interview. In their sample, 45students completed their homework last week. Does this provide convincing evidence that less than 60%of all students at the school completed their assigned homework last week?

a. What is the evidence that less than 60%of all students completed their assigned homework last week?

b. Provide two explanations for the evidence described in part (a).

We used technology to simulate choosing 250SRSs of size n=100n=100from a population of 2000students where 60%completed their assigned homework last week. The dotplot shows pp^the sample proportion of students who completed their assigned homework last week for each of the 250simulated samples.

c. There is one dot on the graph at 0.73. Explain what this value represents.

d. Would it be surprising to get a sample proportion of p=0.45p^=0.45or smaller in an SRS of size 100when p=0.60p=0.60? Justify your answer.

e. Based on your previous answers, is there convincing evidence that less than 60%of all students at the school completed their assigned homework last week? Explain your reasoning.

The number of undergraduates at Johns Hopkins University is approximately 2000 , while the number at Ohio State University is approximately 60,000. At both schools, a simple random sample of about 3%of the undergraduates is taken. Each sample is used to estimate the proportion p of all students at that university who own an iPod. Suppose that, in fact, p=0.80 at both schools. Which of the following is the best conclusion?

a. We expect that the estimate from Johns Hopkins will be closer to the truth than the estimate from Ohio State because it comes from a smaller population.

b. We expect that the estimate from Johns Hopkins will be closer to the truth than the estimate from Ohio State because it is based on a smaller sample size.

c. We expect that the estimate from Ohio State will be closer to the truth than the estimate from Johns Hopkins because it comes from a larger population.

d. We expect that the estimate from Ohio State will be closer to the truth than the estimate from Johns Hopkins because it is based on a larger sample size.

e. We expect that the estimate from Johns Hopkins will be about the same distance from the truth as the estimate from Ohio State because both samples are 3 % of their populations.
